Chapter 116: The senior poor of the Tang Dynasty

Since they were going to work together to get through the level, Li Tai decided to tell Changsun Wuji about the next major plan. After all, my uncle is a real ruthless man. With the same interests as both sides, with this great god coming out of his head and getting angry, he should be able to deal with the ruthless man in the East Palace.

However, with the planning of the troops of Marce, Shi Wei and others, he planned to tell the old man in a few days.

My uncle summoned him too quickly, and there is no clue what the discussion between Pei Xingjian and the Khitan tribes is now.

"Uncle, I think so. Gaisuwen is suspicious and treacherous by nature. We are fighting for time in Pyongyang. If we want to hold Gaisuwen, we must make trouble before Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang enter Pyongyang.

Nothing matters can't attract Gassin's attention. If we want to play, let's have a big deal!

Aren’t our Tang Dynasty garrisoned heavily in Youzhou?

There are two months left before spring plowing, so we will conduct a full-army practical exercise on the border of Goguryeo. This will not only make Goguryeo highly nervous, but also delay their spring plowing and affect the grain harvest after autumn.

If you are lucky enough, Baiqi can pull out Quan Wensheng's messenger. If Gai Suwen doesn't get the news, we may be able to catch this old turtle out of Pyongyang!"

He was confused when he heard him say it, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Don't think about fishing out of Pyongyang. Quan Wensheng was at the cost of his life. If he asked the Hundred Cavalry to catch all the messengers in one go, he would not deserve to let Gai Suwen entrust his envoy to Chang'an with an important task.

What kind of practical exercises are?

I understand martial arts exercises, but I have never heard of practical exercises!”

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this. He forgot about this. The ancients had no idea of ​​practical exercises in military training. At most, it was a military parade-like exercise.

That is, pulling the army out to unilaterally practice formation tactics, without presuming imaginary enemies, and setting tactical goals, is also a training of the nature of a military parade.

"I was unexpectedly surprised by practical exercises, just like martial arts exercises, but we must divide the army into two, one side plays the Tang Dynasty and the other side plays the enemy.

The generals of both sides commanded the army and set established combat goals. Then the two sides showed their magical powers and fought according to actual combat requirements. The only difference from fighting on the battlefield is that swords and guns cannot be used, and arrows must be removed.

If a practical exercise of tens of thousands of troops can be carried out on the border of Goguryeo and then find an excuse to openly define Quan Gasuwen as an imaginary enemy, it will definitely shock Gasuwen and make him unable to sleep or eat, so that he will not dare to act rashly even if he receives the message from the messenger!"

Li Tai was ruthless. Faced with the forced force of tens of thousands of Tang troops in actual combat exercises, he was listed as an imaginary enemy by the Tang Dynasty. Even though Gai Suwen was so powerful that he had to consider the consequences of taking rash actions when all preparations were not properly prepared.

Changsun Wuji's eyes shone and said, "It's amazing! This method can not only enhance the combat power of the army and stabilize the situation in Liaodong. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

The old man stood up happily and patted Li Tai on the shoulder without any worries to praise him. Li Tai was in a good mood. Finally, he added a insurance policy for Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang, and his pressure could be reduced a lot.

However, happy times are always short. After a moment, Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "However, although this method is good, it hurts the enemy by one thousand and hurts himself by eight hundred. Such a practical exercise will definitely delay the time, and it is true that it hinders the spring farming of Goguryeo. Our Tang Dynasty is also deeply affected.

The Youzhou army is mainly composed of the soldiers of the Zhechong Prefecture. They go out to farm when they are free. Because practical exercises delay the spring plowing season, our losses will not be less than those of the Goguryeo people. I am afraid that neither Your Majesty nor the ministers will agree!

There is also this exercise based on actual combat as the standard, and there will be casualties, pensions and rewards from soldiers, and military capital loss. The Ministry of Revenue does not have this expenditure for this expense this year. Where does this large amount of money come from?”

Li Tai was confused and almost forgot about this tricked mansion system.

The basis of the government military system is the equal-field system. The mechanism of farming and fighting is destined to be the operation mode of the integration of soldiers and farmers. A practical exercise includes preparation and aftermath, ranging from one month to several months. For the Tang Dynasty government soldiers, if they have to put down farming and do some practical exercises in the critical season of farming, isn’t this the life of the government soldiers?

This is the time to conduct practical exercises. Don’t say that the emperor and ministers will not agree, the soldiers in the palace will not agree!

Unless someone can solve the problems of food production and military pay expenses delayed by the actual legend...

Seeing him silent with constipation, Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "Is it difficult, right?

It’s not that my uncle doesn’t help you, but that this method simply doesn’t work. You should think of another way.”

Li Tai sighed and held the pool railing and his mind was spinning rapidly. Hebei Road faced Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo two powerful enemies, and there were no less than 100,000 troops.

According to the calculation that half of the troops were dispatched to participate in the actual combat exercise, it was also a 50,000 army.

The Zhenguan year was the peak of the government military system. All the 50,000 government soldiers could obtain 80 acres of land. The dispatch of 50,000 troops affected the production of 4 million acres of arable land!

The main grain of Hebei Province is mainly millet, and the price is not as good as rice. Thanks to Lao Li's efforts to manage for many years, the price of rice in Zhenguan for 15 years was only two coins for rice, and only twenty coins for one stone was one. This is definitely an era of extremely low grain prices in Chinese history. Historians praised the "Zhenguan governance" as well as well.

Four million mu of arable land was damaged in spring plowing, and one mu produces grain, one stone, five to two stones. The enemy calculated that the loss of two stones per mu is lenient. This is the loss of eight million stones.

Twenty cents per stone, a total of 160 million yuan, totaling 160 million yuan.

With the messy expenses such as military pay, pensions, and military capital loss, this part is much more loss than spring plowing, and it is not enough to get 300,000 yuan.

After this calculation, it is estimated that it is not possible to solve the problem of the delayed grain production and rewards of tens of thousands of troops. The loss and expenditure of military capital is roughly estimated to be less than 500,000 yuan.

The cost is not much or bad, and according to the rice price, it is only about 100 million yuan in later generations. This amount of money is required to conduct a live-fire exercise of tens of thousands of troops, and the fuel costs of empty packages and aircraft and tanks are not enough.

But the Tang Dynasty was a serious agricultural society. Every penny of the imperial court finance was levied out of the land by renting and mediocre remedial. The unexpected expenses of more than one billion yuan were put on the Tang Dynasty, which was a huge sum of money. Even if Lao Li felt sorry for his fat green bird, he would not accept his proposal.

For the Goguryeo plan, the court has agreed to the Left Guard's army to enter Pyongyang. The Left Guard has not yet set off, and has caused huge expenses for the actual combat exercises of 50,000 troops. What if the court wants you to be the head of Li Tai?

The so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty, from the perspective of the industrial age, was just a high-level poverty that was tightened in the farming era, and lived a thrifty life with a high-level poverty!

For the current plan, if we want to promote the actual combat exercises of Youzhou army to oppress and restrain Quan Gai Suwen, the expenses of this money must find another source for the court, otherwise it will be difficult for Changsun Wuji to make a move.

After making up his mind, Li Tai insisted on the railway line: "This matter must be done. With Gai Suwen's shrewdness, there is no other way to restrain him except for the army's obsession.

I will find a way to find a way for the expenses of the army's actual combat exercises. I will do my best to make this happen in three days!"

Changsun Wuji said in surprise: "Military and national affairs are not a joke, it's hundreds of thousands of coins!

In the past ten months, how did you turn stones into gold to create these hundreds of thousands of coins for the court?”
